THE SHELTER COULD RECEIVE UP TO 5000 EVACUEES FROM NEW ORLEANS.  LATER ON,
WE RECEIVED CONFIRMATION THE SHELTER WOULD BE AT CAMP GRUBER, A NATIONAL
GUARD TRAINING FACILITY SOUTHEAST OF MUSKOGEE, AND THE NUMBER OF EVACUEES
WOULD BE 2000.  THE RED CROSS EXPECTED THEM AT ANYTIME THAT NIGHT.  ONCE
AGAIN, BACK TO THE E MAILS AND PHONES I WENT.  MY INITIAL CONCERN WAS TO
HAVE TWO OPERATORS FOR OVERNIGHT AT GRUBER.  WE ALSO CONSIDERED THE USE OF
PACKET.  ED COMPOS, K5CRQ, AND MIKE GAULDIN, KE5EHI, WENT TO STAY OVERNIGHT
AT GRUBER.  ZACH MILLER, K5BCT, AND MIKE DARROL, KD5RJZ, ALSO WENT DOWN
THAT NIGHT TO TRY TO SET UP A PORTABLE PACKET STATION.  THEY DID GET IT
RUNNING, BUT THE LACK OF PACKET CAPABILITIES AT THE RED CROSS
